ParticipantHey,I got this picture from my US History teacher and have to find the author.The only information he gave me was:Important women for women's issues and that it is a photo.Mid 1800big thingwomen were involved in ... movementWomen's reform movementsDoes anybody know what this picture is?Thank you for your response

ParticipantHmm? This one makes me curious because it is a German email address, it is from a German &Yahoo! tyoe variant though. The only person I can think of that would legitmately live in the US with a German email would be someone like my wife, who is German but had her email established before we moved and did not want to change it. The .de gave Americans fits though.

ParticipantYes I'm from Germany, I'm an exchange student for one year 😀I don't think it's Calamity Jane, she has nothing to do with women's issues, but thank you.My teacher just gave me two more hints:Mid 1800big thingwomen were involved in ... movementPerhaps that can help

ParticipantSome kind of Suffragette? Susan B. Anthony perhaps?

ParticipantIt doesn't look as if she joined the Seneca Falls Convention or that her name would be Susan B. Anthony :S

ParticipantFrances Willard?
I think so as well.

ParticipantI don't think that is Frances Willard. I couldn't find that pic in any of the Google images I looked at, and those I saw didn't resemble this pic at all. I could be wrong.I tried Jane Addams, Abigail Adams, Susan B. Anthony, Betsy Ross, Lucy Stone etc... and of course none of them look like the woman in this pic. So I'm stumped.

Betsy Ross? I checked, and she died in 1836, two years before the first photo of a person was made! Actually, she lived much closer to the time of the first cameras than I originally thought.

Yeah I didn't really peg you as a historian with specialty in gender issues. ;D

So am I but several of the pics I found appeared to be similar... shape of jaw bone, ear, mouth, and nose. Might be that I just spent too many years ID'ing yearbook photos though. ::)

You might be right Wally, I don't know. I only went a couple of pages into Google images. I maybe should have kept on going.
